In my .5ext, I run a medusa 4800kv 50mm with a 11t pinion on 2s. I've only run about 4 packs(trakpower 2s 4900mAh), but in a baseball field @ WOT all the time, I get like 8-10min runtime. After that, temps stay about 150f on the motor, 140f on the esc, and 120f on the lipo. I'm sure racing I'd get longer runtime, like 15min. or so. It tops out at about 36-38mph, a touch slower than my kyosho lazer, which radered in @ 40mph.

As I stated above, I am looking at the same set up as you. The only difference is that I will be running a 6400mah 2s which should give me an extra 5 min or so run time.
